The life of the Barranquilla singer Shakira has been marked by her family, especially by her father William Mebarak. On different occasions, the Anthology interpreter has mentioned William, he has even stolen her gaze on various occasions when she has accompanied her daughter to receive awards, presentations, etc.
However, for quite some time now, the issue of Mr. Mebarak’s health has also been in the spotlight, since it can be said that he is already 92 years old and, in addition, has had health problems.
As a result, there are those who wonder regarding the origin and life story of William Mebarak, who was born on September 6, 1931 in New York, United States, a fact that for some may be new information.

Facts regarding William Mebarak
The Colombian star’s father’s full name is William Mebarak Chadid. Considering Planeta’s compilations of books, since he has a book he authored called ‘To the Wind and to Chance’, he is American, although he has Lebanese origins.

Seeing her father working for a long time in front of a typewriter, Shakira began to dream up the hits that led her to worldwide recognition. Mr. Mebarak Chadid had several jobs; being in a radio booth and even trading jewelry, just as he was an insurance agent, a literature professor, among others.
Still, despite his current age, William continues to be unconditional support for the Barranquilla star.
On the other hand, at the time, Mr. Mebarak’s first passion was to be a priest, although later that changed his perspective. In the words of Shakira: “My father didn’t want to, he was scared, because he didn’t have any male brothers and I only had a very little brother. “He was terrified that his last name, Mebarak, would be lost,” according to La Vanguardia.
At that time, Shakira’s father was in and out of the hospital in Barcelona, so that delayed the Colombian’s plan to move to Miami, United States, with her two children, Sasha and Milan.

Now, returning to the present, Shakira stole the eyes of thousands of her loyal followers with an unexpected video that was published on social interaction platforms, fragments that made it possible to say that the famous singer had arrived in Colombia. In the images, only she was seen entering a vehicle, although everything seems to indicate that the visit is related to William Mebarak’s health.
According to records shared in Impacto News, this Saturday, October 14, the Barranquilla woman was seen at the Ernesto Cortissoz airport, apparently making an emergency trip to be aware of the family complications that arose.
